Industrial Supply Distribution

Industrial Supply Distributors face enormous challenges across an increasingly complex operations environment, from dealing with complicated products, dimension management, seasonal product management, and globalization to trying to reduce inventory, improve supply chain performance—and doing it all with less.

These distributors often struggle to simplify the process of working with special customers and contracts.  Long-term, multi-phase order management and streamlined purchasing are also challenges. Overcoming them can mean the difference between red ink and black ink.

With a focus on delivering value to the customer, organizations are rethinking their processes and trying to remain ahead of the competition while keeping and capturing new customers at the same time.

Challenges:

  • Incorrect  mix of inventory items
  • Dealing with seasonal demand for product appropriately
  • Accurately forecasting future demand
  • Complex multi-node supply chains
  • 60 to 120-day lead times to replenish product
  • Managing excess and/or obsolete inventory
  • Difficulty maintaining appropriate min, max, and safety stock levels
  • Efficiently filling trucks or freight containers
  • Streamlining and automating the purchasing process
  • Too many stock-outs
